Mayor promises houses for Sebokeng
Comment on this storyJohannesburg - There will be development in Boiketlong, Sebokeng, Sedibeng mayor Simon Mofokeng told residents on Friday.
Houses would be built once the developers and the Gauteng housing department had signed an agreement, he told residents following their protests for housing.
"The Gauteng housing department and other relevant parties have agreed to build houses and connect water."
Boiketlong resident Thokozani Nkuna said Mofokeng was not supposed to address them alone.
Our mayor Greta Hlongwane was supposed to be here as well as Gauteng premier Nomvula Mokonyane."
The crowd cheered and ululated as Nkuna spoke.

Now that was a bath...
Apparently quite a few people are having issues with their bits. k
not a bit of talk like that here... around these parts, I'm always telling one of the 4 boys, "STOP playing with your junk!"
Just cover them with a glove. And keep them away from Claire. Bits problems solved. Oh - and if you have pictures, post them for Scout. Have a heart, people.

oooooh! you're all so knowledgable!
so if they're harmless to the plants (must be a first in my pest-ridden garden) should I be ecofriendly and leave them be?!
I've just found a few of these in my London garden - they are pale green/yellowish and about 2mm long. I think they are grubs or caterpillars...I only noticed them at all because they seem to exude a weird, frothy spit-like substance in which they sit, if that makes sense, usually in the join of two branches (noticed them in my shrub roses and sedum green roof mainly).
I propmptly squished them in disgust.
What are they?
Oh wow Verdun - I'm off to do some serious googling! Thank you
Cotinus is amazing, but I'm worried that I may not be able to control it as I'm away for much of the Summer...may return to find a baobab tree in my garden.
Hadn't thought of hebes - good idea too.
I have some purple heucheras which I love...Tom Thumb is probably the best option as it's not too massive and I have another pittosphorum close by too. I love the fact it's evergreen - in such a tiny garden that's so important or things look a bit bleak come December.
Thanks again
It's a verry shallow border, bordering plum slate. Raised flower bed one side, small buddleja the other and a dwarf apple tree.
Pretty good soil - heavy clay mixed in with lots of well-rotted stuff, so very free draining and rich. Just been mulched too.
No idea what pH but roses love it.
Ideally looking for something that has a very striking deep plum/burgundy/maroon leaf, possibly evergreen, but not anything spikey like berberis as kids running about nearby.
A gorgeous Cotinus (Smoke Bush) caught my eye today and that's just the colour I want, but grows up to 5m so that put me off a bit (my garden is only 6mx6m urban, so I need a bush that won't invade and will grow quite compact, perhaps no more than 1m or so)
Can a Cotinus be cut back a lot to keep it in check, or is there something even better out there I know nothing about?! (very likely, as my knowledge isn't vast!)
Exposure: bit of early east sun, then sun again from about midday to 2ish. Protected, against a fence in a walled garden.
Thank you
cow parsley, maybe??
There's a good wonderboy - not a football analogy in sight
But returning to plants and stuff - yes, sequestered iron is good, as is liquid seaweed feed.
Ps: define "toxic" - how much, how little, airborn, touch, by ingestion - what exactly?!
Verdun - have you completely taken leave of your senses?!
It's ok - rain forecast for next week

Yes, you can get a commercial license for MongoDB with the purchase of MongoDB Enterprise.
Why is MongoDB useful?
MongoDB helps you:
Create Applications Never Before Possible. MongoDB lets you build apps you could never build before. It can manage data of any structure, no matter how often it changes or it where it comes from, while providing all the features needed to build powerful apps.
Build Faster. You move faster with MongoDB because dynamic schemas let you iterate. You spend less time on the database, and more time on the app.
Spend Less Money. More productive teams, plus commodity hardware make your projects cost 10% what they would with a relational database.
Learn more about why organizations use MongoDB and what they achieve in one of our white papers:
Quantifying Business Advantage: The Value of Database Selection
How a Database Can Make Your Organization Faster, Better, Leaner
When should I use MongoDB?
MongoDB is typically used as the primary data store for operational applications with real-time requirements (i.e., low-latency, high availability). MongoDB is generally a good fit for 60%-80% of the applications you may be building today. MongoDB is easy to operate and scale in ways that are hard if not impossible with relational databases.
MongoDB excels in many use cases where relational databases aren't a good fit, like applications with unstructured, semi-structured and polymorphic data, as well as applications with large scalability requirements or multi-data center deployments.
MongoDB may not be a good fit for some applications. For example, applications that require complex transactions (e.g., a double-entry bookkeeping system) and scan-oriented applications that access large subsets of the data most of the time may not be a good fit for MongoDB. MongoDB is not a drop-in replacement for legacy applications built around the relational data model and SQL.
Some common use cases include mobile apps, product catalogs, real-time personalization, content management and applications delivering a single view across multiple systems. Learn more about common use cases.
How is data stored in MongoDB?
Data in MongoDB is stored in BSON documents – JSON-style data structures. Documents contain one or more fields, and each field contains a value of a specific data type, including arrays, binary data and sub-documents. Documents that tend to share a similar structure are organized as collections.
It may be helpful to think of documents as analogous to rows in a relational database, fields as similar to columns, and collections as similar to tables.
Learn more in the MongoDB Architecture Guide.
Does MongoDB support ACID transactions?
Yes, but in a limited sense. MongoDB supports ACID transactions at the document level; today MongoDB does not support multi-document transactions. For many but not all applications, this is sufficient because data for a record tends to be managed as a single document. Like most databases, MongoDB uses write-ahead logging to an on-disk journal to guarantee write operation durability and to provide crash resiliency.
The distributed nature of MongoDB necessitates additional consideration beyond ACID regarding consistency and availability. MongoDB automatically maintains replica sets, multiple copies of data that are distributed across servers, racks and data centers for high availability (see How does MongoDB ensure high availability?) MongoDB is strongly consistent: all reads and writes are applied to the primary member by default. (See How does MongoDB ensure consistency?) Write operations are automatically applied to all replica set members. You can configure each write to return after success on the primary, on multiple set members, a majority of set members, or all members. Reads can be applied to the primary member, to secondary members if the primary is unavailable, to specific members exclusively (for workload isolation), or to the nearest secondary based on ping distance. You can configure your reads and writes to achieve the consistency and availability required for your application.
Learn more in the MongoDB Architecture Guide.
Is MongoDB an alternative to Hadoop?
MongoDB and Hadoop are complementary. MongoDB powers operational big data applications, and Hadoop powers analytical big data applications.
MongoDB powers real-time applications that demand high performance for read and write operations. Latency for these applications typically ranges from sub-millisecond to tens of milliseconds, and availability must be high in order to meet SLAs for modern application performance.
Hadoop workloads, by contrast, typically involve reading and writing large volumes of data per operation. Jobs typically aggregate and process large volumes of data in batch, with latency measured in minutes and hours.
Learn more about MongoDB and Hadoop.
Is MongoDB Management Service (MMS) a cloud-based service or on-premise software?
You can get MMS via both deployment models – as a cloud-based service and as on-premise software. The cloud-based service includes a free tier and pay-as-you-go offerings. You can use it for MongoDB deployments that run in the cloud or in your own data centers. Get started with MMS in the cloud.
MMS On-Prem is included with MongoDB Enterprise. You can run it privately, behind your firewalls and on your own infrastructure. To get started with MMS On-Prem, contact us.
Does MongoDB scale?
Tons of organizations – tens of thousands of them – use MongoDB to build high-performance systems at scale, including over 30 of the world's 100 largest organizations and many of the world's most successful and innovative web companies.
These MongoDB users typically scale their deployments by distributing data, reads, and writes across groups of commodity servers to address increasing data volume and throughput requirements. They scale their MongoDB clusters from a single server to over 1,000 nodes, more than 100 billion documents and petabytes of data. Learn more about companies – like Yandex, Foursquare and McAfee – running MongoDB at scale.
Many of these companies also use the MongoDB Management Service (MMS) to help manage and automate these large clusters.
To learn about best practices and considerations for running MongoDB at scale, read our white paper on MongoDB Performance Best Practices.
How does MongoDB ensure high availability?
MongoDB automatically maintains replica sets, multiple copies of data that are distributed across servers, racks and data centers. Replica sets help prevent database downtime using native replication and automatic failover.
A replica set consists of multiple replica set members. At any given time one member acts as the primary member, and the other members act as secondary members. If the primary member fails for any reason (e.g., hardware failure), one of the secondary members is automatically elected to primary and begins to process all reads and writes.
Learn more in the MongoDB Architecture Guide.
How does MongoDB ensure consistency?
MongoDB is consistent by default: reads and writes are issued to the primary member of a replica set. Applications can optionally read from secondary replicas, where data is eventually consistent by default. Reads from secondaries can be useful in scenarios where it is acceptable for data to be slightly out of date, such as some reporting applications. Applications can also read from the closest copy of the data (as measured by ping distance) when latency is more important than consistency.
Learn more in the MongoDB Architecture Guide.
Is MongoDB schema-less?
No. In MongoDB schema design is still important. MongoDB's document model does, however, employ a different schema paradigm than traditional relational databases.
In MongoDB, documents are self-describing; there is no central catalog where schemas are declared and maintained. The schema can vary across documents, and the schema can evolve quickly without requiring the modification of existing data.
MongoDB's dynamic schema also makes it easier to represent semi-structured and polymorphic data, as documents do not all need to have exactly the same fields. For example, a collection of financial trading positions might have positions that are equity positions, and some that are bonds, and some that are cash. All may have some fields in common, but some fields ("ticker", "number_of_shares") do not apply to all position types.
When designing schemas in MongoDB you should consider a number of topics, including the types of queries the application will need to perform, how objects are managed in the application code, and how documents will change and potentially grow over time.

Should I normalize my data before storing it in MongoDB?
No. Schema design is very important when using MongoDB, but very different from schema design for relational databases.

Read the MongoDB Architecture Guide.
What's the advantage of the backup features in MongoDB Management Service (MMS) versus traditional backup strategies?
MMS offers a lot of advantages, including:
Point-in-Time-Recovery. You can generate a restore image from an exact time in the past, which can be very helpful for restoring operations just prior to a catastrophic event.
Continuous, Incremental Backup. Data is backed up continuously as the cluster updates. Your backups are always up-to-date.
Sharded Cluster Backup. Backing up sharded clusters can be hard. MMS Backup automates this for you.
MMS is available as a cloud-based service and as on-premise software.
Get started with MMS in the cloud. To get started with MMS On-Prem, contact us.
To learn more, read the white paper on database backup strategies.
Do you have a cloud product or cloud hosting?
MongoDB was designed for cloud deployments; there is not a different edition of MongoDB for the cloud. Many partners provide MongoDB offerings as part of their cloud products, including:
Amazon Web Services
IBM Softlayer
Microsoft Azure
Learn more about our cloud partners.
What's new in the MongoDB 2.6 release?
MongoDB 2.6 was released in April of 2014. MongoDB 2.6 adds security, integration and analytics enhancements to ease deployment in enterprise environments, such as LDAP, x.509 and Kerberos authentication. A new query planner and index intersection significantly improve query performance and minimize the number of compound indexes necessary for many deployments. Several operational enhancements were added, including automatic query cancelling to better manage resource utilization, and background index builds, so indexes can be created without impacting application performance.
MongoDB 2.6 also introduced backup and point-in-time restore to MongoDB Management Service (MMS), available on-premise as part of MongoDB Enterprise and in the cloud as a premium service.
For more information on the release, read the What's New in 2.6 white paper, watch for our webinar, and read the release notes.
What will be included in the next MongoDB release?
The focus of the next release, MongoDB 3.0 (previously termed MongoDB 2.8), is fine-grained concurrency control, a pluggable storage engine API, and an on-premises version of our automation product known as "Ops Manager." Fine-grained concurrency control (also known as 'document level locking') will help MongoDB perform at scale for a wider range of workloads. The pluggable storage engine API will make it possible to extend MongoDB with new capabilities and to configure MongoDB for optimal use of specific hardware architectures. Finally, Ops Manager will allow users to create, upgrade, and add capacity to MongoDB deployments of any topology and any size with the click of a button. To learn more about what's coming in this release, watch cofounder and CTO Eliot Horowitz's keynote at MongoDB World. To learn more about the longer-term roadmap, watch Eliot's roadmap talk at MongoDB World.
Where does the name MongoDB come from?
MongoDB comes from the word humongous. Our founders built large Internet companies like DoubleClick. They consistently ran into the same problems with databases, one of the biggest problems being scalability. When they set out to build MongoDB, they wanted a database that scaled. Thus, MongoDB.
What does the leaf mean in the MongoDB logo?
Our founders believe that coding should be natural, and so should using a database. They want the experience of using MongoDB to be simple and natural. Thus, the leaf.

From new ride announcements, construction reports and the latest rumors: Screamscape always has something new to report.
News & Rumors
SIX FLAGS AMERICABaltimore, Washington DCSix Flags Theme Parks
Park News - (10/3/14) The latest interesting development from Six Flags America is a report that the teen injured and recovering from a coma after being involved in a fight at the park was actually trespassing on Six Flags property. It seems he did something quite naughty back in July during an earlier visit and received a chain wide ban from entering any Six Flags theme park anywhere in the country. Typically these kind of bans are not handed out lightly, but are often the result from being busted in the park for being involved in theft or violence. (10/1/14) Six Flags America has responded to the "Fight Fest" violence and chaos that erupted over the weekend at Fright Fest with a promise to step up security at the theme park. While Six Flags insists that the violence was an "isolated incident" reports from park guests say otherwise, with many reported as opting to leave early for the night even before the violence spilled out into the parking lot because things were starting to rough and out of control all throughout the theme park. This report on the local Fox station reports two serious injuries that required hospital attention, one for an unknown female and the other for a 15-year old boy currently in a medically-induced coma after having a section of his skull removed to help cope with brain swelling. Others report going in for medical care for array of ailments, from needing stitches to dealing with being hit with pepper-spray. (9/30/14) Trouble and chaos apparently took told outside Six Flags America on Sunday night after Fright Fest. Police were on hand to handle the crowd leaving around 10pm, but there were reports of fights, some claim to have heard gun shots, possible fightning, a video shows a woman unconscious on the ground outside the park, and more. So far what happened isn't exactly clear and no one has been arrested. (8/11/14) Riders on the Joker's Jinx at Six Flags America got a little more thrill than they bargained for when the coaster train launched into the spaghetti bowl of twisted track, only to come to a stop on a banked curve about 75-90 feet in the air, about the highest point on the coaster. The local emergency crews were called to come out and had to rescue the riders from the train, one at a time, with a crane and ladder truck. As of approximately 7pm, all 24 riders were rescued after being stuck for several hours.
2015 - Super Loop / Bourbon Street Fireball - (8/28/14) The Bourbon Street Fireball flat ride is confirmed for 2015. Unfortunately the park is calling this their 10th Coaster. Not...
2016 - New Attraction - Rumor - (10/28/14) I've been sent word that the Six Flags may be considering a "upgrade" of some kind for Six Flags America in 2016. Now before I go any further… Knowing the way things work at Six Flags, any rumor I hear at this point for 2016 or beyond, I know to take with a giant grain of salt. Things can and do change very quickly in the land of the flags… and projects once intended for one park and quickly be shuffled over to another park before you can blink an eye. What parks receive in the way of new capital improvements for next year are also often a reflection of how well or poorly the park performed the year before, so know that it is a bit early to lock down anything for 2016. That said… this rumor at least lets us know the possible long term intentions Six Flags has at the moment for this park. The exact nature of the "upgrade" isn't known… but there is much speculation it may involve the DC Universe characters and where they are used in the park. After all, the next big DC comics film, Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice, will hit theaters in March of 2016 so you know Six Flags will want to take advantage of the free marketing fallout if they can. One line of thought is that the park might see some money poured into the existing attractions to upgrade, retheme, or just improve the look of them all. There is the matter of the old empty Batman stunt show arena as well. And I've got to wonder if the new Justice League dark ride opening at SFOT and SFSL in 2015 turns out to be a hit, SFA could benefit by adding their own copy in 2016 as well. If the new addition isn't DC Comics related, the other popular rumor is that SFA could become home to a Sky Screamer ride in 2016 instead. So which would you rather have? Justice League: Battle for Metropolis or Sky Screamer?

I apologised for the bad description and poor start to the storyline. This is my first time trying something out in my spare time. I sort of found out that my writing gets worse if I write some more. Sorry, if my writing is bad and the quotation system and the use of repetitive words and generic/typical stuff I put in. Best to imagine if this is an anime, since I pictured it like that. I never bothered to correct...or take this story seriously no more. It's dead to me now. ----STORY---- In the grassy fields and windy weather, the full moon appeared in the starry sky. Out in the country side is a teenage boy that is lying on the ground like a star with it's arms and legs spread out. The wind is like a powerful typhoon and is tearing the grass from the ground and into the air. The boy is wearing his standard high school uniform that has a black blazer, black pants, navy tie and black shoes. The breast pocket on the blazer has a gold logo of a love heart being pierced through a black and white sword. He is wearing his black leather fingerless gloves while holding onto his blue mobile phone. He sighed deeply and got up slowly. The moment he stood up he saw a girl that is currently five metres away from him. His face shows no surprise or curiosity. He simply stared at her and walked away. The girl is wearing the same school uniform as him except, she is wearing a skirt and long socks. She is also wearing a pair of leather gloves and is also holding onto her mobile phone. "What did you think of the covenant?" she asked while looking out into the wilderness. The boy stopped and tucked his hands into his pocket as he looked onto the sky. "Its bullshit, that's all I could say" he answered. The girl continued looking out onto the winding wilderness while the guy continued looking up at the starry sky. "Did you know…" she said shortly, breaking the awkward silence. She put the mobile phone into of her blazer pocket and then looked at her right hand. "…if you insult the covenant in front of another member…". A blue barrier is glowing blue around her right hand. "…the sentence is death since it's under the Mystical Acension League rule #36. 'Never insult the covenant, break this rule is a huge offense and the punishment is death' You know what this means right?". The palm of her is glowing dark blue, while the outside of her hand is glowing blue. The dark blue glow is getting larger. The boy smiled sadistically, "So you're going to kill? That's something I'd like to see". The girl turned around with her arms outstretched towards the boy's position. A huge barrier like beam of blue and white casted out from the palm of her hand is heading towards the boy. A thin circle layered the beam while a star shape layers her right hand. The beam is three times her height, the sound is like a single crack of thunder that goes for 10 seconds and the ground or grass is evaporated. The boy quickly turned around and outstretched his left hand as if he was trying to grab something. The beam collided into his hand a second later. The connection of the beam to the girl disappeared. The area exploded like a missile. The sound of the explosion echoed throughout the wilderness, breaking the sound of the heavy wind. The rough wind blew the smoke away and the boy happened to stand there with his arm still stretched. Static electricity appeared for only a short moment. The trench made by the beam is seven metres deep in a perfect semi-circle. "Your magic is still a piece of shit when you're going easy. It's going to take more than that to take me down. I presume you're Monia? The Top ranked Magician that happens to use a large dose of magic for a small attack, am I right?" the boy said while putting his other hand into his pocket. Monia is astonished, "Correct, you're one of the few who manage to block that attack. By any chance, are you Kairen the Newbie that everyone is talking about?". Kairen's aura is rising and his whole body started spewing shadows, "Which one of those douche bags called me a newbie?" "I can't believe I'm partnering you for this" Monia suddenly spoke out. The shadows around Kairen disappeared and so does his aura. "Partner for what?" he asked as his expression changes to a state of confusion. Monia sighs and scratches her head. "It's a mission where the best can only succeed. Just you and me. It was my choice to make this decision anyway, since you're the only the only that doesn't care about status or power". Kairen closed his eyes to give him self a clear thought. He reopened his eyes later on, he stretched out his hand,, "I guess it'll take a lot more than words to trust each other. Once you've shaken my hand, it means I have complete faith in you as a partner, but I'll give you a rare minimal l of my trust". She gave him small smile. Monia walked up to Kairen and clasped his hand in agreement of their trust. 2 Years Later A thug stumbled across a dead in the alleyway. He turned around and saw Kairen moving closer to him. The thug desperately charges forward aimlessly with a knife in hand. Kairen move slightly to the right and the thug missed him by an inch. Kairen's arm blurred rapidly like a bullet and thrusts his hand onto the thugs face with the palm of his hand. A spiral of faded white appeared around his arms. The thug is making a small noise that a person with fear should always do, Kairen smiled and the faded white spiral disappeared with a force explosion. The force around the arm headed flowed along his flesh and out of the palm of the hand that is holding the thugs face. The thug's head exploded in half and the flesh and blood splattered against the wall and onto Kairen. Chunks of small pieces of meat made squishing noises as it hits the ground floor. Fragments of the thug's skull that is covered in red scattered all over the alley. Kairen happened to catch to one of the small flesh. He opened his jaws and crunched on the soft the soft tendering meat while tearing it apart like a ravaging dog. Monia walked into the alley as she is instructed to do. She comes a across a frightening scene and saw the bloody Kairen looking down on the corpse. The blood is gushing out the half headless body like a river. It flowed past Kairen's feet and the dark red river has now become a huge puddle. It flowed in the cracks like a stream all the way to Monia's feet. She quickly took several steps back before the red stream could touch her. Kairen turned around as he heard the faint steps. "Hello, my beautiful princess Monia. Have you decided to come and see me again?" as he took a 4 steps forward. "I prepared you a nice meal that is lying right beside me, I don't mind sharing it with you though" he offered while his hand is facing the direction of the dead body. "It may taste a bit raw and dirty, but you'll get adjusted to it if you eat plenty of it, it taste's exactly like you" Kairen said as he lick the blood from his bloody fingers. Monia's facial expression has a combination of fear, disgust and anger. "What in god's name have you done…? I've been hearing that the greatest enemy of the pact has appeared but… I n-never expect it to be you. Just…why are you doing this?" she asked with a concerned voiced. Kairen chuckled and said "Why? Why!?". He walked back to the dead body and is standing beside it and is looking down at it again. "I'll tell you why. The reason why I did this is because…". He thrust his hand inside the abdomen of the dead corpse like a spear, while saying "…these humans are the cause of the pact!". He is digging his hand further into the corpse, trying to find something. "Because of these petty humans, we are unable to make love for each other! This Pact! This so called 'COVENANT' Is just unfair! No Fun! No freedom! And No!-" He dug his other hand in the flesh, and is holding something. "And No Fucking Love!", he stood up as if he was trying to pull something. The sound of meat tearing a part is loud, it's a sound of small squishing at the same time the sound of someone cutting fresh meat. Suddenly, the middle area of the abdomen burst open vertically, and a long red spinal cord dripping blood has risen. Kairen continued pulling the blood dripping spinal cord. Monia clasped her hands on her mouth in shock and distress. Kairen turned his around and stopped pulling. He gave her a sadistic smile and his sadistic smiling face looks like a happy-go serial killer. Monia took several steps back. Kairen started laughing. His laugh is hysterical like a murderer that is enjoying on torturing their victims or playing with human lives. While laughing, he spins the red spinal cord like a propeller above him with the body attached. The area is so confined, that the body is hitting against the walls and it looks like a human sprinkler that is sprinkling out blood. Monia took several paces back again and suddenly the tearing sound of the corpse is really loud, the body detached itself from the spinal cord. The body headed towards Monia but landed half way. Kairen's body is abdomen area is covered in so much blood and his face is covered in some portion while the lower area is covered a lot. His hand is fully coloured red and his hair I almost full of it. He continued laughing like a mad man but slowly stopped. Kairen dropped the spinal cord and walked towards the dead body. He thrust his in it again and tore something out. He held a huge chunk of meat and shoved it in his mouth. He chewed it while putting his hand over his mouth so he doesn't have to spit out. Monia slowly backed away, unable to handle the traumatized scene. Kairen swallowed his food and looked at Monia with a huge smile on his face. She came to halt and slowly moved her hand into her blazer pocket. Kairen grabbed the corpse's arm, opened his jaws and sunk his teeth into the essences of the human flesh. He ripped a large piece of meat off the body. The dead arm is bleeding rapidly like an overspilled cup. Kairen swallowed his food once again. He stared at the hole of the arm he just bitten off. "A BONE!" he said loudly also in a cheery tone as if he discovered some treasure. He shoved his hand into the hole and grabbed onto the bone. He pulled the bone out the body with little effort. A massive splash of blood washed onto his head and body. He split the bone from the elbow by pulling it apart. More splashes of blood washed upon body. The bone is dripping red like a half closed tap. He looked at Monia's direction while holding the bone that still has some meat attached to it while saying "Hey princess, want a kebab?". The smile on his face has vanished. Monia is no where to be seen. He looked around the bloody environment he's in. He let out a sigh and walked out the alley while eating the meat that is still attached to the bone. ******************************************* Monia is running a long the side path, she kept running and running. Breathing heavily from exhaustion, she ran towards the park and continued onwards. She came a cross a fountain, surrounded by trees and benches. She came to a halt and put her hands on her knees, she is gasping for breathe from all the fatigue of running away. She walked to the bench while inhaling the air. She sat down and looked at the sky, the wind is blowing gently. The sweat from her face is sliding down along her cheek. "I thought you'd be here, have you calmed down already?" Kairen said inside the shadows. Monia smiled while looking at the sky, "All that running is making me tired. Too tired to worry about anything, and too tired to know what you are doing. At least running calms me down, you should know that." Kairen walked out the shadows and onto the light, his appearance is bloody like almost every part of his body. "Not only does it calm you down. It takes away your worries right?" Kairen conversed. Kairen walked towards the bench and sat down next to her. "Sorry about the back alley. My insanity is getting the better of me, I still got several minutes left before I get overwhelmed by it. I may not look like it, I may sound normal. But…ever since that incident, I have changed. I couldn't stand drinking water or eating food other than blood or human flesh. The smell of human is very tempting, I couldn't stop myself. I've been fighting this for over 2 years. Now…I'm losing myself…Monia." He grabbed her hand, Monia looked at him, staring down at his eyes. "Kill me! Before I get drawn by madness! I don't want to hurt you or anyone! I don't want to turn into something I'm not" Kairen pleaded. Monia looked at him shockingly. She looked closer into his eyes. She can see a brink of red in his brown eyes. "Kairen…don't tell me that you're…" she said with a sympathetic face, her voice is distorted from pity. "Kairen looked down while holding her hand, "My father is a cannibal and my mother is a magician. Thanks to my mother's magic, I couldn't turn into a cannibal until I have an evil aura. I guess I'm considered an abomination." Kairen used his other hand and grabbed a short blade from inside Monia's blazer pocket. He put the blade on her hand and pointed it onto his chest. With a clean smile he said "Do it." Monia hesitated, her hands shaking while holding the blade. Kairen continued staring at her, "Even in this situation, you still show sympathy to a murderer" he said. "But Kairen…I don't remember what happened 2 years ago" she said. "What…Never mind that. Dig this blade into my heart, Now!" Monia closed her eyes, her face shows a sign of sympathetic distress. A single tear appeared from her left eye. "No…I can't…" she said sharply. Suddenly…Kairen coughed a heap of blood in front of her face. Kairen released his grip from her hand. Monia slowly looked down on his chest. The short blade is dugged into his body. She pulled the blade out and quickly hugged him. "Monia…it's coming. Run…befor-" Kairen coughed a huge mass of blood over her shoulders. His brown eye is slowly getting redder. Monia still held him tightly, "I'm not going anywhere. There's no way I can leave you alone in this state". "Moni…ah…you've broken…the pact. I don't…want to k-"he coughed again, "Go to the bottom draw. Read diary…entry 23". In a matter of seconds, Kairen's body suddenly pushed her away and fell on the ground. He started vomiting out organs. He made an ear piercing scream, as he wriggles his body on the floor like a possessed human being. "Kairen!!!" she cried. The wound on Kairen's chest is getting larger. He vomited more organs from the victim's he's eaten. The full moon is slowly turning red. Kairen continued screaming in agony. Monia covered her face with her hands. His skin is slowly deteriorating, "Monia………" he slowly gasped out "...don't…die" Monia uncovered her face and saw his agonic smile. His red fill eyes suddenly burst out of it's socket. Monia gave a high pitched scream. Kairen's body grew holes and a mass heap of blood is seeping out of it. His ribcages fell out of place and his fingers are falling off. He wriggled his body like a possessed demon and his organs are squishy through the holes. Trying to endure the pain, he slowly looked up at Monia, while outstretching his fingerless hand with his last remaining strength. "Moniaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!" he howled from the top of his lungs with his arm still outstretched. Monia rushed to Kairen's side and grabbed his fingerless hands. The full moon is completely red. Without warning, Kairen's skull has appeared through his skin. His flesh is rotting away and his bones are piercing through the living tissue. His body exploded with blood and is pouring out like a heavy river. "Just how much blood do you have!?" Monia shrieked. His intestines are spewing itself from the empty head. Even then, he is still alive. Unable to scream, his spinal cord has ripped itself open through his leg. His lip fell off and so does his nose and eyes. His appearance is like an abomination that is slowly melting away. A massive hole to his heart opened up and his lungs let's itself out. With a traumatizing face, she looked in the hole. His heart is still beating, with all the arteries connected to it. She notices that she can see the fountain through his heart. She gently hugged him. His whole back is missing. It's like someone scooped it up. His head is very floppy since the skull is gone. The red liquid kept pouring itself out; covering half the area they're in while overflowing a few places. Kairen's body is no longer in her grasp. The only Monia can hold onto is the remaining skin he has left. On the floor, lay a beating heart with arteries connected to it. The heart is beating slowly and more slowly every second. With a few droplets of tears coming down her bloody face. She picked up the heart and puts it against her chest, on where her heart is. The heart finally stopped beating and she gave out a soft cry. Her surroundings are nothing but blood, torn flesh, skin, bones and several organs. The ground started to shake and then a huge crack appeared in several places, Kairen's heart is beating again, it flown out of her hand and back onto the ground. The organs, blood, skin and bones are being sucked into one area. Monia got up and took a couple steps back. "Kairen…?" she spoke anxiously. "Holy Shit! Holy Fucking Shit! I just won! I just fucknig won $15,000! HaHaHa, suck on that SHOTACON!" someone yelled cheerfully disrupting the disturbing event near the fountain. Monia turned around to see the man in the shadows dancing around like a fool. Monia bit her lips and slowly said, "Meta…Nix?" "Hey Monia! You just wouldn't believe what actually happened. There's this one time Shota and I happened Monia is shocked, her rage slowly builds up and she clenches her fist. Her hand is glowing red and started casting out that glow. A large ring around the hand had formed and a large gust of thick wind headed towards Meta's position. The gust of wind sliced half his body horizontally making him fly in the air backwards. His intestines are wriggling and his blood is spurted like a fountain. When he hit solid ground, Meta's lower body is twitching. "I'm immune to pain remember? Seriously, stop cutting up my fucking body!" Meta complained, his voice is full of rage and hatred. Monia cast another gust of wind and Meta's arm suddenly ripped open, revealing the red bone. "Meta Nix you son of a bitch! Aren't you considerate of other people's feelings?" Monia shrieked. "Shit Nigga, you're tripping! I ain't the one that started this shit, Shota will probably knows what's crackin' than I do, na mean? So let's head back to tha crib before some beef turns up because I need some parlay to run off with some shit. Kairen was off the chain to begin with, he had some dime and dope, instead of popping the cap of someone's ass, he's downright bites like it a crazy motherfucker. You go watch your back and I'll watch yours. Thing'lls go straight, so be careful on what you saying, because these fools ain't gonna be mad atcha but rather dis you and your crew. Stay Up and bail out of this shit. You and yo ace of street kings should chop down some wood" Meta warned and complained in a black like accent. ------In Translation to Ze Black Talk------ "You shit brain, you what're you're doing?. I'm not the one who did this, Shota might probably know something more than I, and you know what I mean right? Let's head back to that place before some trouble shows up because I needed rest to get away from all this. Kairen is out of control, he started dealing some Cocaine and heroin, instead of shooting someone's ass off, he just eats them like a cannibal. Watch yourself and I'll give you a helping hand. Everything will be fine, just be careful of the dangers ahead since they wont get angry at you but will kill you and your team instead. Take care of yourself and relieve yourself from this investigation. You and your professional team members should just relax somewhere while chopping wood" --------------------------------------------- Monia clenched her fist, "Enough…with the…BLACK TALK!". She casted another gust of wind, this time the wind is more powerful than before. The gust sweeps through the ground, slicing it to pieces. The gust of wind reached to Meta's body. "Oh dear" she gasped. "Are you trying to kill me you one crazy ugly son of a degenerate four-eyed bitch!" Meta insulted furiously. All of Meta's upper body has almost disappeared; his limbs are currently lost inside a whole heap of flesh. His chest is severely ripped open, the bones of his ribs stuck out a like a sword that is stabbed on the ground. His left eye is partly gouged out. The lower part of the body is in a rather bad shape, a rod like figure is pointing up at the sky. It suddenly lops off. "Oh My God! Don't tell me those are my penis! Please tell me it's not my penis". "I'm afraid that penis of yours will be making kids in the next afterlife. I mean…it had an erection before it died. See that white glucose appearing from the tip. That must be your last and only child" she said with no pity in her voice. Kairen appeared out of the bushes from the park. "Is that why you lodged his dick off? Because you simply screwed him once before and believed that dick is tainted to other women, correct? Or is it you want him to penniless dick and force himself to make a uterus for the sake of turning a man into a simple transvestite?". Modified by Winda, 04-29-12, 1:49 AM |

For years, St. Ives has been known for its longstanding apricot scrub, a product we've long since stopped recommending due to its overly abrasive nature. Now, for the first time (at least since we've been reviewing this brand), they've finally, FINALLY launched an alternative to their scrubs: Exfoliating Pads.
Each pad is steeped in a water-based solution that contains an effective amount of the AHA lactic acid. The pH of 3.6 ensures the lactic acid (how much lactic acid the pads contain isn't revealed, but we suspect it's at least 5%) functions as an exfoliant, which is the goal.
Although these pads will exfoliate, the formula has some drawbacks that kept it from earning our top rating. The chief issue is the fragrance; the formula's scent is strong and lingers on skin after the solution has dried. The other issue is the citrus extracts that pose a risk of irritation. The amount of those is low (and allows St. Ives to beef up their "natural" claim) but neither of them are great ingredients for skin.
Despite the drawbacks, this remains an affordable, effective AHA exfoliant for all skin types except sensitive. These pads are fine for breakout prone skin.
Scrub-free exfoliating pads are non-abrasive and formulated with a neutral AHA Complex to release dull skin and impurities while leaving healthy, fresh skin intact. Fruit extracts and moisturizing vitamin E help skin feel soft and smooth. After 1 week, skin looks and feels fresher, younger, more radiant.
Water, Lactic Acid, Glycerin, Tocopheryl Acetate, Prunus Ameniaca (Apricot) Fruit Extract, Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract, Saccharum Officinarum (Sugar Cane) Extract, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract, Acer Saccharum (Sugar Maple) Extract, Betaine, Sodium Hydroxide, Polysorbate 80, Polysorbate 20, DMDM Hydantoin, Fragrance
Two things set this line apart in the minds of consumers familiar with the brand: the Swiss angle and their apricot face scrubs. This notoriety didn't translate to thoughtfully formulated products, though. Instead, most of the scrubs are too abrasive, and the apricot is simply there as an extract, never mind that in a scrub it doesn't have any significant benefit for skin. The same can be said of the selection of supposedly Swiss-based herbs. Most of them have soothing properties, but it doesn't matter to skin if the ingredients came from Switzerland or South Dakota. If anything, the whole Swiss angle is getting a bit tired. You can bet that there are no scientists working high in the Swiss alps to formulate these products. St. Ives is a line with very little worth considering, so feel free to breeze right by as you shop for skin-care products at your local drugstore.

Cutting flashing to nail the gutters?
do you need to cut and slice the metal flashing in order to make room for the nailing of the gutters? when does it get to the point of compromising your flashing where the rain will get to the wood? My installers cut a 2 inch cut all the up to the roofline. How can that not compromis the fascia?
Since you have nail on gutters it's near impossible to remove them without damaging the gutters, that why they had to do it.

Unlike Eric Tingwall, I did find some bulky items to haul in the Transit Connect: about 30 used car tires from Automobile Magazine's tire-storage room. I was simply amazed by how many of them the Transit Connect could swallow, and these were not small tires: they were all 17s, 18s, and 19-inchers.
Aside from the obvious utility of a big-box vehicle with doors on each side and big rear dutch doors that swing open wide to reveal a broad, flat cargo floor lined with a thick rubber pad, the other thing I really liked about the Transit Connect was its front visibility. With a low, broad windshield, it was easy to place the front end of the vehicle on the road, which was especially nice since you have no rearward visibility at all. Despite that, it's easy to get a sense of the size and mass of the Transit so that you can back into a parking space using only the side mirrors. That said, here's a place where a rearview camera would REALLY be useful.
Have a look at the spec sheet for our Transit, which priced out at $26,215, and you'll see that $2615 is for dubious options like the in-dash computer and Tool Link. Skip those and you'll have a great utility vehicle for your small business for only $23,600.

FedEx has created holiday-themed videos to get the word out about its new flat rate offering.
To push its new One Rate flat-rate shipping service this holiday season, courier delivery services company FedEx has launched a multimedia campaign that includes the brand's first Vine videos.
The Vines include two packages with holiday themes. One package is to refs from coaches with the message, "Ship it all using #FedEx #OneRate, so now you can see what's actually happening on the field!" The other is to a kid from mom with the message, "So you have everything you need for your 1st #Thanksgiving, thanks to #FedEx #OneRate. And Mom."
The multimedia effort also includes TV and print and the tagline, "Introducing FedEx One Rate. Simple, flat-rate shipping with the reliability of FedEx."
One TV spot on YouTube, Cozies, has about 25,000 views as of December 4. The cozies were knit by the winner of FedEx's small business grant contest, Darn Good Yarn, according to a rep for creative agency BBDO NY, which created the work.
The rep also says FedEx's new One Rate shipping service offers "a simple, predictable, flat-rate shipping option for express packages."
FedEx has 767,000 Facebook fans and 153,000 Twitter followers. The brand is also using the hashtag #OneRate to push the promotion.
A FedEx rep did not respond to requests for comment.

Review: Black Crowes at the Ogden, 11/13/13
Eric Gruneisen
THE BLACK CROWES at THE OGDEN THEATRE 11/13/13
While the crowd on Wednesday night seemed completely receptive to first of the Black Crowes' three nights at the Ogden Theatre, the place pretty much exploded with energy once the band launched into "Remedy" about an hour and a half into its set and kept igniting the packed venue with a fair amount of grit and muscle on covers of Otis Redding's "Hard to Handle," which segued into Deep Purple/Billy Joe Royal's "Hush."
Eric Gruneisen
The band came out strong, opening with the hearty medium tempo rockers, "Under a Mountain" and "Nebakanezer," both from 1996's Three Snakes and One Charm before delving into a fair amount of deep cuts, which the band has been doing on its current Lay Down With Number 13 tour, the first trek after a two-year hiatus.
Early in the set, after the band plowed through "Cypress Tree," frontman Chris Robinson dedicated the rarely played "No Use for Lying" to all the young lovers in the audience. Opening with Rich Robinson's slow intro on guitar, which sounded like it was run through a rotary effect and wah pedal, parts of the song felt like a distant cousin to Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun."
Eric Gruneisen
The extended psychedelic jam on "Nonfiction" featured some deft guitar soloing from both Rich Robinson and Jackie Greene, who joined the band earlier this year and replaced Luther Dickinson while "Paint an 8," another seldom played cut, was one of the more vigorous tunes of the night.

My wife is making a display for her father for his birthday. His father served in WWII and has since passed. My wife aquired the medals that he received. She was about to start when I mentioned that I'm sure that there is a specific way that they should be displayed.
I did a few searches online and was unsuccessful in finding what I need. Perhaps some of you fine gentlemen that were in the Navy could help us out.
The medals are as follows: Purple Heart, WWII Victory, American Campaign, Asiatic Pacific Campaign, European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign and The Navy Occupation Service.
She also aquired the ribbon that should be worn on the uniform.
We would appreciate it if someone could tell us how we could properly display these medals.

7. SINA (SINA - Get Report) is an online media company operating through five business lines, namely SINA.com, SINA Mobile, SINA Community, SINA.net and SINA E-Commerce.
On a year-to-date basis, the company surged 55.7% to touch 52-week highs in December. In comparison, counterparts like Sohu.com (SOHU - Get Report) and Google (GOOG) gained 12.1% and lost 3.4%, respectively, on year-to-date basis.
For the third quarter, the company posted a 12% year-over-year increase in net revenue, riding on the strong performance of online advertising. During the first three quarters of 2010, SINA ranked third in the online advertising market in China, with an 8.6% share, behind Baidu and Google. During November 2010, Microsoft announced a joint venture with SINA linking its instant messaging service and China's biggest microblogging service. The integration will include migration of Microsoft's blogging service and Windows Live Spaces to Sina's blogging service. This alliance is a part of Microsoft's global move to exit from the blogging business
Looking ahead, the company is likely to gain with the launch of the highly popular microblog service in 2011. Weibo, a microblog similar to Twitter, which allows users to follow other users and view their posts, is likely to launch in 2011. Charles Chao, SINA's chief executive, said the overall advertising market is strong and fourth-quarter guidance relates to only some sectors and does not reflect the overall market. For the fourth quarter, SINA estimates revenues between $103 million and $106 million.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Bill C-24 lawsuit claims no legislation can strip Canadians of citizenship
A Toronto lawyer has launched a court challenge against controversial changes to the Canada's Citizenship Act.
On June 25, Rocco Galati filed documents in a federal court that argue Parliament and the Governor General surpassed their constitutional authorities in approving certain aspects of Bill C-24, the Strengthening Canadian Citizenship Act.
The lawsuit primarily targets provisions in the bill that allow for the Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration to revoke the citizenship of a Canadian-born citizen and deport them from the country.
"The Federal Parliament has absolutely no legislative competence to legislate the revocation, removal, annulment, or any extinguishing whatsoever of the citizenship status, per say, of any Canadian-born citizen," reads the notice of application.
It states that citizenship is "inalienable, and cannot be 'revoked' under any circumstance by Federal Parliament", and that citizenship is a "fundamental constitutional protection, outside of the legislative competence of the Federal Parliament".
Galati's lawsuit, which he filed on behalf of lawyers with the Constitutional Rights Centre, might only be the first of multiple court proceedings challenging the constitutionality of the Conservative government's new citizenship laws, which have already passed through the House of Commons and the Senate and received royal assent.
On June 19, the Straight reported that the Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers (CARL), working with the B.C. Civil Liberties Association and Amnesty International, is preparing a court challenge against Bill C-24.
Those organizations plan to argue that the changes violate the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
"This proposed law would allow certain Canadians to be stripped of citizenship that was validly obtained by birth or by naturalization," says CARL president Lorne Waldman, quoted in a release. "We think that is unconstitutional, and we intend to challenge this law if it is passed."
Vancouver immigration lawyer Zool Suleman has argued that Bill C-24 could be especially concerning to immigrants new to the country.
Citizenship could be rescinded if it's decided an individual fails to show "intent" to reside in Canada, he explained in a May 18 interview with the Straight. Immigrants could also lose their citizenship if they are found guilty of a crime, which creates a form of "double punishment" for one group of Canadians that does not apply to another, Suleman continued.
The Canadian Bar Association (CBA) has also found certain provisions of Bill C-24 are "likely unconstitutional". A brief prepared by the CBA's national immigration law section states that the citizenship-revocation process outlined in Bill C-24 will "primarily be a paper one", wherein a hearing before a Federal Court judge will only be granted "in limited circumstances".
According to Statistics Canada, immigration accounted for 67 percent of Canada's population growth in 2013. That number is expected to rise to 80 percent by 2031. In 2011, British Columbia had the lowest birth rate of any province in Canada.
Galati's lawsuit means the Strengthening Canadian Citizenship Act joins a number of other Conservative rules taken to court in recent years. Lawyers with Pivot Legal Society are fighting a Health Canada regulation that bans B.C. doctors from providing select patients with prescription heroin. Pivot is also challenging mandatory minimum sentences for small-time drug dealers. And it's expected that proposed prostitution laws targeting the clients of sex workers could soon become the subject of a constitutional challenge.
Citizen of one country- and my country is Canada- there is no mistrusting, nor misunderstanding my loyalties.
Blind patriotism is a disease that gave rise to Hitler's Nazis. Harper's Canada is not my Canada. Whatever definition of Canada that you have pledge your loyalties to may very well be the opposite to many other Canadian's definition, as the Harper government is displaying. My loyalties apply to human rights principles and the rule of law, not abstract political concepts that divide and destroy instead of unite.
In the end we are all citizens of the world, and it is getting smaller every day.
you leave canada for few months come back, they dont let you in, you own a house a car a business they dont let you in and cant even fight it in court because some idiot made this law and every Canadian cheers for it, thats how pathetic they are
lets say if the canadian government makes up a rule that every morning canadians must line up and bend over for a government representative to stick it to them , not only canadians WILL line up but they will also complain to get an increase in the number of rapist representatives , so this way they wait too long in the line up, thats how retarded these people are,
ive lived and travelled in many countries of the world and by far i have to say the dumbest of all are canadians
The bill is not about stripping you from your second nationality. It says if you, for any reason, has left your motherland and cannot live there anymore, if you feel insecure there and have moved to Canada, then be a Canadian and live, work, and pay tax. Don't be a Canadian, who has left the motherland but ironically lives and work in a motherland where was not supposed to be secure enough.
But it's still an interesting suit, I wonder how much of the argument will be heard on its merits if and when this comes to a hearing.
Well, if that's the case please give me back all the taxes that I paid and a restitution for all the time and effort in the cold freakin' Canadian weather for the last 11 years. I also will need my fees for (Residency and Citizenship) back. Otherwise, the Canadian Government is just a bunch of sneaky mafiosos who stole my money in a hideous way.
What is the difference between a Racist and a Fascist? The Racist will never admit his ideology of hate, the Fascist will do and go further creating laws to protect his Racism, and implement them. (i.e: Hitler, Mussolini, Francisco Franco...etc).
Every one knows and believe that Canada has made and build by immigrant even Harper parents are immigrant. When some body immigrant to Canada to get Canadian citizen so he/she would be proud to be Canadian. Citizenship is a right not a point that Harper or his gang can rejected it.According to Canada constitution section Rights and Responsibilities of Citizenship in Mobility rights that said Canadian can live and work any where they choose in Canada, enter and leave the country freely , and apply for a passport. with this explanation nobody even ministers or parliament can approved any bill or law against constitution!It is funny in globalization age taht many skill workers are expatiate and working around the word Harper decided to be against globalization and emphasis Canada is part of globalization!This bill is symbol of racism similar Nazi thought !!I think conservatism party as also other decision those are against nation, worker class and middle class decide to fire 99% of society on behalf 1% .We are Canadian dual citizen and we are proud of it. The Canada government has known many immigrant applicant has been dual citizen and agree they come in Canada and apply for Canadian citizen but at present the conservative party and their group in Parliament that I am sure many of MP group have Dual citizen but want to be exclusive!!The people , black, Brwn,yellow ,white, all the people must unite against Bill C-24
We honestly need to know what these people smokes. Or it's just their blue eyes racist hatred instinct taking over of them. This country is well respected for it's tolerant towards diversity because that how we built this country. Who does the dirty job in this country? The immigrant!! Who are more educated nowadays? The immigrant? Who give birth to the next generation of Canadian? The immigrant!! Who are the crack head?? Mr chris and his First class citizen? Who are the lazy assholes? Mr Chris and co!!
This Bill will never pass and let see if Mr Chris wins his next election. He need to understand the meaning of "native" he's not so he is not from here either. Likewise his parents or predecessors. Take it or leave it. This country originally belongs to Native people. Everybody else migrated here.
We are all coexist here, work hard to contribute to this country. We all pay same tax isn't it? There is no second class citizen when it's time to pay tax but otherwise there is? Seriously!!!! This is a joke!!!!

I have a 20 year old duplex that has its attic floor insulated with fiberglass between the 6 inch joists.
Some years back, I dropped in a number of half-inch 4x8 plywood sheets in order to use the space for storage. Most of the attic floor area is now covered with plywood, except for several feet on each side where it gets close to the eaves. I was wondering if I could do anything at this point to increase the R-value of my attic floor without pulling up the plywood. Would it make sense to roll out some more fiberglass on top of the plywood (in the places where I'm not storing stuff)? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Blueboard styrofoam gives more R value per inch than fiberglass, plus, you can walk on it. That's what I would use. Then I'd put 1/4" plywood over top and screw everything to the joists. They just showed this option recently on This Old House. |
I'm having cellulose blown into my attic on Monday. They are taking up the plywood we put down 35 years ago. They're keeping the plywood in one spot that I want for storage. They'll blow cellulose under the floor there. The cellulose is going over some ancient fiberglass batts. I saw the TOH episode about insulating an attic. The blue styrofoam made sense. Maybe you can watch it on their site or even catch the rerun because it was so recent. Good luck! |
Thank you both for your posts. I did get to see that episode of TOH. That blueboard styrofoam thing's got me interested. Can it really hold up underneath a plywood floor, with all the walking & storage that might go on? I always picture styrofoam as smashing down under pressure. |
It's not because it's blue. Let's all learn more: read wikipedia and other sources. There are an infinite number of types of styrofoam. E.g. look at Wedi, a styrofoam onto which you can lay floor tile, and outdoors too! There are dozens of competitors to Wedi also, and they all buy the same source material, or similar. With a "styrofoam" substrate to tile, one trade off is the hollow noise it makes when you knock on it. Not a problem with most shoes and with bare feet. Yes, you can walk on a plywood-on-styrofoam floor, if you have bought the right material and if you have installed it right. They even use styrofoam now as a substrate underneath concrete foundations of entire buildings weighing tons. |
You can attach a grid of furring strips on top of the existing plywood, and cut the foamboard to fit between the strips, then lay down a sheet of thin plywood on top of that. That way, the furring strips support the plywood overlay and it won't smash the foamboard. |
I also have a plywood floor over most of my attic & want to add more insulation. I was told I would need to remove the plywood floor, add 2X6's to give me ~10-12" of depth for batt insulation to achieve a R-38, & replace the plywood (I need the storage). However, since I have some black mold spots on the ceiling of 3 of the 4 upstairs rms, I think there may be a problem with the vapor seal. I think I should pull up the plywood, take out the old insulation, wash down the attic floor with bleach, & make sure there's a proper vapor seal, before I put down new insulation. I also thought that if I used rigid insulation, I could achieve the desired R-38 or higher with the existing 5-6" depth. Does anyone know approximately how much more expensive would it be if I covered ~70% of my ~900 ft2 attic with rigid insulation, rather than using batt insulation? Does anyone have any experience installing rigid insulation? I couldn't find the episode of TOH which showed it, but from what I've read, it seemed as if I could do it myself. What did you do? Anyone else have any advice? Initial cost is an issue, but so is difficulty & time to recoup the cost. Although rigid insulation is more expensive, I think I could save money by installing it myself. On the other hand, since I would have to raise the existing plywood floor by ~6", in addition the cost of the 2X6's, I would need to hire someone to do the work. BTW, I have a 45 yr old colonial in CT near LI Sound. That is why I want to increase the insulation to R-38. Thanks. |

I always had in my mind that rigid foam was 3x the cost of batt. It is definitely a diy project. For what you describe based on hiring the labor, rigid foam may be cheaper. Rigid foam around me is $13 for a 4x8 or $.40 a sq ft for r-4. So you are looking at $240 for r-4. So final cost depends on what your baseline is. If you only have r-18 then you are looking at $1200. Now - rigid will outperform batts in every way. You could probably add r-12 and it would be comparable to adding r-20 in batts. But that is really a guess and if you wind up sealing significant air leaks with foam, then you will make even more of a difference. |
